This is what a typical day would be for your child in Nursery:

Children start their nursery session by being welcomed into Talking Time by their keyperson and by self-registering with their keyperson in their specific Talking Time area.

The sessions then involve the children taking part in the hello song, mark making/ writing their names, induction programme, sharing the learning opportunities that day , Phase 1 Letters and Sounds (listening skills ) and when the children are developmentally ready the Read Write Inc (RWI ) phonic programme.

The end sessions involve the children exploring provocation Talking Tubs and documenting their learning in group Floor Books, singing and music sessions with Angeline –our resident Musician, helicopter stories, RWI phonic sessions, Maths, Core books using the story sacks , stories and rhymes.
